I don't know if somebody already made a thread like this(and if so then my bad) but why was Shockwave so hyped? In most of the interviews about the movie, they always said how cool and deadly Shockwave was, while in the actual movie he was a rather minor character. I want to know why he was so hyped. To trick us that the main baddie was Sentinal? Because he took down a whole building with the driller? What do you guys think?

It was just Bay's misinformation campaign...he was supposed to be the villain but this turned out to be false, he is just a support character. Bay wanted to keep Sentinel as the villain hidden for as long as possible. That's all.

this, and worked really well
I didn't really like the fact that there wasn't a direct fight between OP and Shockwave, not even a bit, just OP taking his eye out and "you die!", leaving him as a big secondary character
but oh well, I can't change the movie complaining about it

The worst part I think Shockwave only showed up in 2 scenes and hardly have any line to say, LOL. The first time he met Prime, he didn't fight him in a hand to hand combat. On the second time, Prime killed him.

look I've watched the film several movies and I counted how many times it appeared, and he appeared five or six, not two
